See if www.interactivebrokers.com can change that opinion of yours. One more thing: I once developed an extremely profitable daytrading system. I found a setup that was profitable for certain values of its parameters, set the parameters accordingly, optimized it a little bit, and let my...

Elliott waves apparently are not the only waves some people used to predict the markets. I was looking for a wave analysis program on ebay the other day and it came up with what I guess must be some sort of Fourier analysis. And all I actually want is a little piece of software that will...

With one remarkable exception: IB will eat your losses if they result in your futures position exceeding your futures limits. Not that anything like that ever happened to anyone I know.

That is not necessarily true. No trader knows what the odds of any trade are. I don't think anyone even knows if there is any such thing as odds for a specific trade. When you buy a car you make a bet that it will last a certain amount of time longer than a cheaper brand. But do you know...

That's like asking why would day traders require $25000 unless they have paid fees to become "professionals". Or why would arbitrage be illegal if the DJIA rises 160 points or drops 160 points? Or why do you have to use options to short on a downtick? Or why would an exchange be forced to...

Did you know that with the right equipment I can read what is currently being displayed on your monitor from miles away? You might want to place your computer system inside a metal cage to shield off EM fields before you start worrying about keystrokes.

It's a Microsoft thing. You should try to avoid doing important things in Windows. And you should definitely avoid writing important things in one of Microsofts "Proccessing Programs" or "Integrated Development Environments". If you can't avoid it, save, save, save, and save again, every line...

Amen to that.

There is no easy way to successful e-mini trading. trend_guy is showing us the easiest way there is. This is a more difficult way than trend_guy's. (I personally have not mastered it. Maybe it is the easier way if you have never heard of math, statistics, computer science, or if integrals...

Believe me, there are jobs even you would quit without a working system.

For US stocks you pay $1 for 100 shares, $5 for 500 shares, $7.50 for 1000 shares, $12.50 for 2000 shares, $17.50 for 3000 shares, $1 per contract for equity options ($2 per contract if you want to route the order yourself), $2.40 per contract per side for e-mini futures. All these fees include...

And if he's playing with $1,000,000, 25% of that would only be $250,000...
